The socially anxious girl doesn't want to stick to me!

I even forgot that I have roommates.

Zhen Jiling, who was out, finished the class, hummed a song, turned the door and pushed it open. It made a creaking sound, and then the scene in the dormitory appeared. Igarashi Sakuraba, who didn't react, was still happily dancing with monkey fists.

“Wu~Wu…Wuhu!!!…u!??”

After their eyes met.

Igarashi Sakuraba's voice became smaller and smaller, and the arc of his monkey fist became narrower and narrower.

...until his hands fell powerlessly in the air.

His expression was as sad as if a family member had died.

I was so excited that I blinked my big eyes.

He blinked again, and just wanted to pretend that nothing happened, and took a step forward with a smile on his face. After thinking about it, it seemed inappropriate. Finally, he backed away, closed the door towards himself, and left humming a song: "I am a fish, swimming in the water, with only seven seconds of memory~"

——Igarashi Sakuraba was left alone.

……

……

……

what……

ah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why did someone see me at this moment? Can I forget it quickly? Forget it quickly! Otherwise, I'd better die. Death is the final destination for a rat like me! The world is about to be destroyed, the world is about to be destroyed, the world is about to be destroyed, the world is about to be destroyed, the world is about to be destroyed, the world is about to be destroyed!

The world is about to end!!

Igarashi Sakuraba walked to the balcony with a calm expression, stuck his head out and looked outside to check the height.

third floor.

I won’t die from the fall… never mind.

It would be nice if it was on the 23rd floor.

……

Meanwhile, on the other side.

The Emperor of the East Sea knocked on the door of the Student Council President's office.

"Knock knock."

A voice immediately rang out from inside: "Come in."

open the door.

The symbol of Ludor named [Emperor] was folding his long and plump legs, leaning forward, looking at the Emperor of the East China Sea with interest. Even though his admirer said nothing and did nothing, there was still a suffocating feeling in the air, like a feeling of oppression, because this was the Seven Crown G1 Emperor!

The strongest one standing at the top of all horse girls...

"President~" the Emperor of the East China Sea said in a soft voice.

Hearing this coquettish voice, Luduo Symbol couldn't help but smile. At the same time, his whole body softened and he was no longer so tense. The pressure was dissipated, and he replied with a smile: "What's wrong, Emperor?"

"Come with me to watch the game tomorrow!" The Emperor of the East China Sea expressed his request again, and even deliberately kept it a secret, which was extremely cute: "It's just a debut match, but I believe the president is very interested in her!"

……Um?

Watching a match? It was just their debut match.

Will any extremely talented horse girl debut tomorrow?

Ludo went over the symbol in his mind, and then, he immediately found the opponent's name and asked, "Is it the Narita Road competition? From what I remember... only this horse girl's debut match is worth paying attention to."

"It's not good at all!"

The Emperor of the East Sea replied instantly, his tone still full of determination: "It seems that the president didn't notice her at all. It was Narita Road's opponent - Igarashi Sakuraba who debuted! She is very special, and... As I said, she may be stronger than me."

...Stronger than the Emperor of the East China Sea?

Listening to the childish chatter in front of me.

Ludo symbolizes being in deep thought...

She remembered that the Emperor of the East China Sea had mentioned this horse girl. Is she really that strong?

Chapter 29 Blessings and Amulets

last of the last.

There is only one night left until the debut battle.

It is late at night.

The moon was bright, the stars were sparse, and there was silence; only the dim street lights were still shining.

The reflection of Igarashi Sakuraba was shining... This horse girl was still training hard. On the last day before the race, she was honing what she had learned with this body. Judging from the results, it was pretty good.

Although these were gained through training with the Emperor of the East China Sea... However, there are always some skills that are common.

Igarashi Sakuraba has become stronger again.

If she were to look back in time, she would understand how ridiculous she was seven days ago - she knew nothing and just stared at the training of the Sky Palace. No wonder people thought she was learning something secretly.

Fortunately it was installed.

Otherwise, once you run, you will definitely expose yourself as an ignorant person who knows nothing, and it will also show how poor your real level is.

And myself seven days later.

Already brand new.

It has achieved a leap forward...even better than Narita Road.

Igarashi Sakuraba had watched this horse girl train, and now she should be not much different from her.

…It’s time to end the training.

Think so.

I didn't push my limits, nor did I practice too late. I just sharpened my blade within a reasonable range and was able to rest. The intensity was not high. Igarashi Sakuraba wiped the sweat off his face and took a sip of an electrolyte sports drink.

Sit down and start to rest.

Just turned on the phone.

LINE will show that a new message has been sent.

【TeioTeio】: "Hehe."

[TeioTeio]: "She should be still awake... Based on my understanding of Sakuraba-san!"

He is the emperor of the East China Sea.

Igarashi Sakuraba tilted his head, a little confused, and then replied.

[Sakura in the Courtyard]: "Yes, I didn't sleep. What's wrong? I just finished training and planned to take a shower and go to bed."

【TeioTeio】: “I just suddenly remembered!”

[TeioTeio]: "I forgot to wish Sakuraba-san well in her debut match tomorrow! I wanted to meet you in person and tell you about it, but I was afraid you'd go back to the dorm and I wouldn't be able to let you rest well."

【TeioTeio】: "So, I'll just say it on LINE first! Let's make it up when we meet tomorrow. I'll go to watch your game!"

【TeioTeio】: "I wish Igarashi Sakuraba-san all the best in her debut match tomorrow! Bring back the championship!"

...Is that all?

but.

It's hard not to be happy.

The feeling that someone was always thinking about her made Igarashi Sakuraba smile involuntarily. She pursed her lips, but not because of sadness or unwillingness, but because she was afraid that her teeth would be exposed when she laughed.

Really...really, really happy.

Classmate Donghai Emperor...is a very nice person.

[Sakura in the Courtyard]: "Thank you!!"

[Sakura in the Courtyard]: "I will win the game!"

【TeioTeio】：“╰(*?︶`*)╯.”

【TeioTeio】: "Let's stop chatting. Sakuraba-san, go back to bed early."

[Sakura in the Courtyard]: "Okay~ I'll listen to you."

The simple and quick chat ends here.

Igarashi Sakuraba pressed the screen-off button, and immediately walked straight towards the dormitory building. He glanced at the time. It was now 11:30 at night. He would take a shower and go to bed around 12 o'clock. He just walked alone through the empty street, listening to only the chirping of birds.

A wonderful feeling of loneliness and fulfillment came over me.

honestly...

It's really happy to feel like this.

There are things to work hard for and goals to pursue. Life is no longer filled with sober decadence and pain, but a sense of self-disciplined fulfillment, and there are people who care about her... the Emperor of the East China Sea who cares about her.

When I think of the face of the Emperor of the East China Sea.

Igarashi Sakuraba's face suddenly turned red, and she quickly lowered her head and hid in her hood.

I am really happy...

There are actually people who would specifically remember that they will be making their debut tomorrow and wish themselves a good result.

Even if it might just be an act, just a few casual words, Igarashi Sakuraba was still very satisfied. She was such a person who was easily satisfied.

Thinking about it.

Just open the door of the dormitory.

What was surprising was... Zhen Ji Ling was still awake and playing with her cell phone - this was actually quite normal. What was unusual was that when she saw the door being pushed open and saw Igarashi Sakuraba behind the door, she jumped up, sat on the bed, and looked straight at the other person... without any avoidance.

"what?"

Igarashi Sakuraba opened his mouth.

I wondered what happened to me? Did I forget to lock the door when I left the dormitory?

But before he could ask, Zhen Jiling suddenly took out something from somewhere, and said with a smile: "Here... Sakuraba-san, consider it as a reward for showing me around the campus and taking me to the Emperor's office! Here it is~"

--remuneration?

Igarashi Sakuraba couldn't help but look at what she was holding.

It is an amulet.

How should I put it? Let me explain it directly. Amulets are the objects of blessing that can be found in Japanese shrines. They are usually in small bags with words of blessing embroidered on them and tied with a knot at the seal. They are a symbol of good luck and are sometimes prayed for when hoping for success in studies or career, or for love to go smoothly.

--what?

Same thing.

But the meaning is different.

Igarashi Sakuraba stood there in a daze, not even reacting for a while... Was this amulet really for him? Was it something that Zhen Jiling had prayed for him specifically?

"This... is for me?"

She asked with disbelief.

Zhen Ji Ling snorted, and seemed to have a bit of tsundere in her voice: "Of course! We should be considered friends, right? We are good roommates. I also want to wish Igarashi Sakuraba-san all the best in her debut match tomorrow, and hope she can win the championship smoothly! Make her debut now! Become a rising star in the world of horse racing girls! Maybe she can even win the G1 championship..."

Nagging words.

In fact, Igarashi Sakuraba couldn't listen anymore. Her mind suddenly became hot. She took the amulet and replied, "Thank you! If I don't win tomorrow, I will die to apologize!"

"Ah...you don't have to do that."

Zhen Jiling scratched her head and smiled awkwardly. She thought for a moment and then shouted energetically, "I will go to watch your game tomorrow! Come on, Igarashi Sakuraba-san!"

"As for today—go to bed early!"

Igarashi Sakuraba repeated what he had said: "Okay~ I'll listen to you!"
